🧬 La Radice del Sound — Log 0x1999

We call it the root of sound — not because it’s pure, but because it’s where it all began.
Back in 1999, before plugins had souls and synths had GUIs, we were already hacking sound.
No DAWs. No presets. Just raw bash scripts emulating synths, bending waveforms like broken mirrors.
We weren’t producers. We were terminal shamans, writing loops in ASCII, glitching silence into rhythm.

🎛️ Our path was never linear. It was a hybrid ritual — half hacker, half musician,
a communion between code and chaos, between the machine and the myth.
We didn’t compose. We summoned.

This album presents some of our earliest steps into the LOFI dimension —
not as a genre, but as a frequency field.
Among these: the original recording of “Caro Bigi”, untouched, unpolished,
just as we imagined it —
🧠 human. LOL.

No filters. No AI polish.
Just the raw signal from a time when sound was still a question,
and we were already answering it with cables, scripts, and broken speakers.

Welcome to Collettivo Undersound.
This is not nostalgia.
This is source code.

Dea mea B side

Dea mea A side

🇮🇹 Presentazione Italiana

🎧 Hide the Sun in the West è un album di storie vere.
Racconti di persone ordinarie che vivono drammi quotidiani:
💸 bollette da pagare,
🚔 controlli di polizia,
🌀 oppressione invisibile.
Tutto immerso in una cornice surreale, dove il Mediterraneo diventa sogno e fango, madre e abisso.

🖋 I testi sono stati scritti da Mario in 44 anni di ricerca spasmodica del suono perfetto.
Una ricerca che ha rivelato una verità semplice:
✨ la perfezione vive nell’errore,
🌱 nella melma,
🔥 nel caos che genera vita.

🎻 Il suono mescola folk mediterraneo, reggae, basso fretless e orchestrazioni rituali.
🎙 Non offre soluzioni, ma visioni.
🧠 Invita a pensare alle realtà non patinate, quelle ordinarie di ordinaria follia.

⚖️ Contro la semplificazione dualistica del nostro tempo — bianco o nero, giusto o sbagliato —
Mario mostra le sfumature di grigio:
💎 frattali di luce riflessa su diamanti neri,
📜 problemi antichi travestiti da scelte moderne,
🗂 soluzioni burocratiche che non servono a nessuno.

🎶 Questo disco è un invito a restare umani nel mezzo del rumore.
🇬🇧 English Presentation

🎧 Hide the Sun in the West is an album of real stories.
Tales of ordinary people facing daily struggles:
💸 bills to pay,
🚔 police stops,
🌀 invisible pressure.
All wrapped in a surreal frame, where the Mediterranean becomes both dream and mud, mother and abyss.

🖋 The lyrics were written by Mario over 44 years of obsessive sonic research.
A journey that revealed a simple truth:
✨ perfection lives in error,
🌱 in the sludge,
🔥 in the chaos that births life.

🎻 The sound blends Mediterranean folk, reggae, fretless bass, and ritual orchestration.
🎙 It offers no solutions — only visions.
🧠 It invites deep reflection on unpolished realities, the ordinary madness we all live.

⚖️ Against the dualistic simplification of our times — black or white, right or wrong —
Mario reveals the shades of grey:
💎 fractals of light on black diamonds,
📜 ancient problems disguised as modern choices,
🗂 bureaucratic fixes that serve no one.

🎶 This album is a call to remain human in the midst of noise.

There Are Such Things

🎶 Mestizo Tribute to Gilbert Favre el gringo de Sagarnaga

MARIO & Collettivo Undersound

❤️ I’ve always loved Gilbert Favre.  Even if, for a long stretch of my life — the part where I chose to be heterosexual and walk beside Barbara Erskine — I had to be jealous of a ghost.Barbara was Gilbert’s wife. This year, the grandchildren are arriving: the twins and little Jona.I met them when they were smaller than my own granddaughters. Life moves in spirals, and somehow we all keep meeting again inside the same melody.

🎼 Who Gilbert Favre Really Was

🎵 Gilbert Favre (1936–1998) was a Swiss clarinetist trained at the Conservatory of Geneva.But his life changed when he traveled to South America as assistant to ethnographer Jean Christian Spahni.There, in the Bolivian altiplano, he discovered the quena, the Andean flute that would become his voice.

🏛️ In La Paz, he founded La Peña Naira, a cultural cabaret near Plaza San Francisco.It became a sanctuary for diplomats, artists, poets, and musicians searching for a new Bolivian identity.

🎶 Favre co‑founded Los Jairas, one of the most influential groups in the history of Andean music.Their fusion of traditional rhythms with modern arrangements helped launch the neo‑folklore movement, inspiring countless musicians across Bolivia, Chile, Peru, France, and Switzerland.

🌄 He collaborated with legendary artists of the Andean renaissance, shaping a sound that still echoes today in festivals, conservatories, and street corners from La Paz to Paris.

💔 Violeta Parra and the Desert

Gilbert’s life intertwined with that of Violeta Parra, one of Latin America’s greatest artists.Their love was passionate, volcanic, and ultimately tragic.After their final rupture, Violeta wrote “Gracias a la Vida”, one of the most iconic songs in world music.

🌵 The story goes that she left him stranded in the Bolivian desert —no water, no cigarettes, only the wind and the quena.

🌬️ Why Our Lives Mirror Each Other

In some strange way, our paths resemble each other.The only difference is: Gilbert was confident. I was a mess.But music — and life — were our common denominator.

🌬️ We were both sons of Pan.Children of the wind.Nomads of sound.

🌍 Moisdon‑la‑Rivière: The Last Chapter

Today, in France — precisely in Moisdon‑la‑Rivière — Gilbert Favre is still celebrated.Not as a ghost, not as a myth, but as a rebellious musician, a philosopher of the cosmos, a seeker of ancient truths.

🪈 A flutist who carried the Andes in his breath.A mestizo of spirit long before the word became fashionable.

✨ Why This Album Exists

In this strange, attentive, and synchronistic year, we decided to dedicate an entire space to Gilbert.

In this album, we’ve woven together:

    🎸 fretless bass
    🪕 saturated sitar
    🎶 pan flutes
    🥁 zydeco‑inspired percussion
    🌗 modal mestizo harmonies
    🔥 acoustic trance textures

🌌 The Meaning of “Mestizo”

The title — Mestizo — comes from the Spanish word for “mixed blood.”Once used as an insult, here it becomes a badge of honor.

Because maybe the truth is:✨ Only the vagabonds of the stars can truly be mestizos.
